The authors of the three works each had a similar purpose: to provide guidance to their readers. The stories in the New Testament and the Poem of the Cid each had a particular impact on the audience in the time period for which they were written due to the writing style of the authors. Each work provides a written history of a topic important to the readers many years after the events occurred: Matthew and the author of Acts recorded the story of Jesus and his early ministry as it would impact the First century C.E; and the long-sung Poem of the Cid was recorded to act as a model or example for the people in the twelfth century Iberian Peninsula.

The New Testament is a collection of the religious teachings and beliefs of Christianity. The books were written in the first century in Palestine, which at the time was under the rule of the Roman Empire. The New Testament displays the beginnings of a people challenging the long-held beliefs of the Israelite community by following the teachings of Jesus. The Gospel of Matthew contains the story of Jesus and his early ministry. The author's purpose for the text was establishing and defining Christianity, and spreading the word of Jesus' teachings. Matthew contains elements important to the early church: the story of Jesus' miraculous conception, and explanation of the importance of liturgy, law, discipleship, and teaching, and an account of Jesus' life and death. Matthew was written for the Jews. The author of Matthew did not seem to think of Christianity as something that involved a definite break with the Jewish religion. Instead, he considered Christianity as a continuation and fulfillment of the Old Testament. The author pointedly shows that Jesus' teachings are compatible with Judaism, and Jesus' life fulfills the old testament prophecies. He uses a familiar past, relating prior teachings that the people of the time are familiar with, focusing on the fulfillment of the Old Testament and quoting it...

YOU MAY ALSO FIND THESE DOCUMENTS HELPFUL

...The Poem Of The Cid is a one of the only surviving documents (not to mention one of the most detailed) from 11th century Iberia. Though this is a story, and not one hundred percent accurate, many of the people and things written on have been confirmed. Because of both of these (its rarity and its validation) we can consider this to be an accurate reflect of what life was like at that time, covering class; and shall use it as if there were no fictional occurrences written about.
In the poem, the lord and vassal relationship is a major concept in the 11th century. The relationship that the vassal has to his lord, is one that falls somewhere between a slave and a best friend. A vassal has pledged loyalty to his lord (be it a king, a knight, etc) and this pledge is one that shall not be broken even under the most strenuous circumstances. A vassal is loyal no matter what might happen. As the Cid said, " For the love I bear King Alfonso, who has banished me, no shears shall tough [my beard] and not a hair shall be cut. Let this be common talk among the Moors and Christians alike (89).' " In this passage, the Cid wants it to be known that he serves his lord, even when his lord has disowned him. This brings up the point of leaving; a vassal leaving is considered one of the highest insults and, generally, is punishable (due to the fact that most insults ended in a punishment), yet sometimes the lord...

Purpose of Land Acquisition Act
The land acquisition act of 1894 was created with the expressed purpose of facilitating the government’s acquisition of privately held land for public purposes. The word "public purpose", as defined in the act, refers to the acquisition of land for putting up educational institutions or schemes such as housing, health or slum clearance, apart from the projects for rural planning or formation of sites. The word "government" refers to the central government if the purpose for acquisition is for the union and for all other purposes it refers to the state government. It is not necessary that all the acquisition has to be initiated by the government alone. Local authorities, societies registered under the societies registration act, 1860 and co-operative societies established under the co-operative societies act can also acquire the land for developmental activities through the government.

...Over-Zealous Convert Syndrome - it began to set in like a plague in my spiritual life. Whereas beforehand, I had been more or less just frustrated and intellectually prideful on my journey into the Catholic Church, I now began to be angry, uncharitable, and ultimately headed down a slippery slope.
I had started writing this blog back in 2011, and one can see the progression. Even then, I lamented the fact that the online Catholic catechesis courses I was in were advocating "centering prayer", which sparked a massive rant about the influence of the New Age on Catholic spirituality. My rants became more frequent as I encountered more and more strange things - spiritualities, events, and experiences.
I became less-and-less concerned about my relationship with Christ, and more concerned about venting over all the spiritual and liturgical problems in the Church. My spiritual life began to die. If you want to see what this period was like, read my earlier posts on this blog - though, I did take some down out of sheer embarassment at who I had become, there are a few left.
I generally kept more to my interior prayer and tried with all my might to not notice all the little things that I had not noticed before - things that indicated that there had been a force in the Church that was eating away at its insides like a horde of termites. I just hoped for a renewal, a kind of resurrection, a chance to help "rebuild the Church." Some said to me that it was a product of...

...Poem
They treated her like an animal,
And thought her spirit was breakable.
They thought they could wear her spirits down,
But she made sure she did everything to not give them that satisfactory.
Even when she felt like giving up
She made sure she stood tall,
Regained her composure
And carried on.

...like to be as one. But when they look upon their background they feel they had to change and when they had set their mind about it problems like stealing and even robbing accrued. They the children would do anything without thinking the consequences of what will happen with their act. That’s why we the grown up should be trying something to make lives of these children wouldn’t be a waste. These children need more attention when they talked to the grownups.
It was once said by Parsona (1964) that the home is a factory that produces personal
human. If parents fail to "process" their children at the plant, then the result is kids
immorality. Ivor Morrish (1975) also add to the family say that supervision is not
far enough to impose some rules that should be followed only. Parents should help kids
to be eligible to enter their communities. Situations and circumstances in the family may indeed
influence the emotional development of pupils. When the structure of a family who suffered
fracture, the child will suffer emotional tension and feel insecure. The studies Sandstorm (1968), Maslow, Combs, Kelly and Rogers (1962), and the Bee (1975) shows that feelings of tension will be the magic as acts of reconciliation done at home and in school. Poverty and lack of facilities at home is also a source of discipline problems students. Hussein Mahmood (1980) found that the major problems faced by the students are problems associated with home and...

...Analysis
The poem "The Ecstasy" is one of John Donne's most popular poems, which expresses his unique and unconventional ideas about love. It expounds the theme that pure, spiritual or real love can exist only in the bond of souls established by the bodies. For Donne, true love only exists when both bodies and souls are inextricably united. Donne criticizes the platonic lover who excludes the body and emphasizes the soul.
The fusion of body and soul strengthens spiritual love. Donne compares bodies to planets and souls to the angels that body and souls are inseparable but they are independent. According to medieval mystical conception, 'ecstasy' means a trance-like state in which the soul leaves the body, comes out, and holds communion with the Divine, the Supreme or the Over-soul of the Universe. In Christianity also, it denotes the state of mystic/religious communion with God. Donne uses the religious and philosophical term with religious and philosophical connotations to build his own theory of love.
The poem is an expression of Donne's philosophy of love. Donne agrees with Plato that true love is spiritual. It is a union of the souls. But unlike Plato, Donne doesn't ignore the claims of the body. It is the body that brings the lovers together. Love begins in sensuous apprehension, and spiritual love follows the sensuous. So the claim of the body must not be ignored. Union of bodies is essential to make possible...
